"The law is the law." Ruthless and extremely dangerous (©Russia TV Channel, St. Petersburg, 2015)
Irtyshov began stalking young boys and, seizing the right moment, raped them, as police reports describe, "in a perverted manner." Between December 1993 and September 1994, Irtyshov committed eight attacks on boys aged 9 to 15 in the elevators and entryways of apartment buildings in the Primorsky and Vyborgsky districts of St. Petersburg, with the intent of sexually assaulting them. Some of the attacks resulted in disability and death. The maniac's first attack on children (from what is known to investigators and investigators) occurred in December 1993. While walking in Sosnovsky Park during the day, he spotted the ten- and eleven-year-old brothers, Kolya and Seryozha D. After making sure no one was around, the sadist led the boys at knifepoint to a remote area of the park. He then pulled a knife from his pocket. He grabbed a flask and forced the schoolchildren to take turns taking several sips from it. As the children later reported, the liquid had an unpleasant taste and a sharp, pungent odor. Having subdued the children, he first forced them to lie down in the snow and raped Kolya. Seryozha was forced to watch. He then raped the second brother, causing serious bodily harm, before escaping.
